Dez Fafara’s Health Journey and DevilDriver | Music News

Dez Fafara reveals he’s been battling a mysterious, shrinking tumor near his salivary gland — discovered two years ago after vertigo forced him to cancel a tour — and while doctors are baffled by its natural regression, he’s staying proactive with checkups and a disciplined health routine. Amidst this, DevilDriver’s new album “Strike and Kill” drops with renewed energy, fueled by bandmates who truly embody the band’s core sound. Reflecting on mortality and gratitude, Dez says this experience has reshaped his perspective, inspiring him to treat his music like his final record — a powerful motivator. The outpouring of support from fans and fellow artists has been overwhelming, helping him feel less alone. Despite the challenges, he’s staying active — skateboarding, surfing, writing — and is already looking ahead to future projects, embracing life with fierce gratitude and relentless drive.
